I'm not sure these are feathers, but I'm sure you'll look just fabulous.

I don't see why this site would be any more a target than the other mosques in NYC that have been there for years.

Because people have actually heard about this one?

And some people have gotten been busy getting other people worked up about it?

I was reading some of the CNN forums on this issue. I was dismayed at the number of postings threatening or encouraging acts of terrorism against this community center after it is built.

threatening fire bombing community centers and burning books. :nope:

We have strayed so far.

And I rest my case. People will say build it so we may fly aircraft into it. Have we strayed so far or has the world assisted in the straying?

Our perceptions of Muslims had a lot outside assistance. Beheadings, bombings, honor killings, stonings, hangings, rioting, subjugation of women, parking aircraft into skyscrappers.... the list goes on and on. Who said this was the religion of peace anyway? Was that honestly said or was that something someone made up to make people more accepting?

tater 08-03-10 08:29 PM

It was made up.

Islam means "submission."

To them, submission (to god) leads to peace. Just like submission to dear leader doesn't get you killed in NK (least not as fast).

This is sad, since they could have been denied on entirely legit grounds. If I own any building the same age or older in NYC, and wanted to trash it, I'd expect an identical ruling or I'd sue.

That's the question here now, BTW, did they get special treatment, or could I wreak an 18-whatever building to build a titty bar in NYC?

Actually, they might let me wreck an 18-something era building for a titty bar. How about to build Republican National Headquarters? Nope, application denied ;)

Islam is a religion of peace as much as Christianity is a religion of love and tolerance.

In both there are factions that do the opposite of what the religion dictates. These individuals are called apostates and should not be used as a representation of the entire religion.

.

I'm not a big fan of evangelical movements (which is a masterstroke of understatement), but even I have to acknowledge that at least Christianity has progressed into the 20th and 21st century. Hipocritical as they are, at least they don't commit violence like, or to the scale in frequency, that Islam does. ( Exception being abortion clinics, then they go jihad and start shooting doctors. :shifty: )

edit: And yes, i realize im using the word, "They" very loosely.

This man speaks the truth.

LOL.

Muslims who believe that we are in the "house of war" and dhimmi is in their lands are not apostates. They are devout. Those that think that they have a responsibility to jihad... not apostates. Islam means submission to god. Not peace.

Islam itself is fundamentally regressive.

some white suppremicist will blow it up!... any money...

It is hard to get the image of Muslims cheering when the towers came down out of my head.
